Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 655 Golden Physique, Sword Saint! (Two Chapters Combined)

"I've already calculated it, everything will be auspicious!" Li Jinyu laughed loudly, exhaling a breath of wine, his face flushed.

His tone was full of relief.

"Brother Song, I admire you, I admire you!" Li Jinyu raised his wine cup and said respectfully to Song Changming.

No one in the world knew better than him how hopeless the future of Kyushu had once been.

In his eyes, Song Changming was playing the role of a savior.

However, what Song Changming saved was a future on the verge of collapse, not the present.

Only he knew just how crucial and important what Song Changming had done was.

"Please accept my bow." Fueled by alcohol, Li Jinyu rose and bowed deeply to Song Changming.

Even after Song Changming became the Martial Emperor, the way Li Jinyu and Song Changming interacted in private remained unchanged.

This was the first time Li Jinyu had ever performed such a solemn act of worship.

"Alright, it's good that the world is at peace." Song Changming was completely relieved and happy.

"Thus, I have almost completed my mission as Emperor Wu."

Li Jinyu seemed to have also understood the meaning behind Song Changming's last sentence. He sat down again, picked up his wine glass, sighed inwardly, but still smiled nonchalantly and said...

“Brother Song, we traveled together from Dalai to this land of Kyushu back then, but I’m sorry I can no longer accompany you on this journey.”

He had reached the latter half of his life, his body was gradually aging, and he knew very well that his final destination, the end of his journey, was on this mountain.

Song Changming was taken aback, but then he realized that Li Jinyu had read his mind or perhaps seen a new future.

"You saw my future self?" Song Changming asked.

"Not really, I just saw a scene from the future." Li Jinyu looked up at the sky. Tonight, the stars were shining brightly, but the bright moon was nowhere to be seen.

"I once said that in the future, the land of Kyushu will be empty, with only one person's silhouette remaining forever, and that person is you."

This time, the future Kyushu I saw was bustling with life, but you were nowhere to be seen. I guess you must have left.”

After listening, Song Changming remained silent for a moment, then smiled and clinked glasses with Li Jinyu.

"You're really accurate."

"Your skill is so exceptional that even immortals might not be able to match it."

"Haha, Brother Song flatters me."

"."

The drinking session with Li Jinyu lasted from dusk till dawn, and then it was time to head home.

Back in the Tianwu Emperor's Palace, Song Changming noticed that Su Qingqing seemed hesitant to speak, so he asked her directly.

"Qingqing, what's on your mind?"

Su Qingqing didn't hesitate and said, "Young master, when you go somewhere in the future, could you take us with you?"

Upon hearing this, Song Changming understood.

Previously, Li Jinyu's words implied that Song Changming intended to leave Kyushu and go to the Primordial Continent alone.

Su Qingqing didn't care where Song Changming was going; she only cared whether her young master would take her with him.

Therefore, there were inevitably some minor troubles on the way back.

“Yes, yes, let’s go together, young master,” said the young girl Huang Ye beside him.

Unlike Su Qingqing, Xiao Huang simply enjoys following Song Changming to explore unknown places.

After the human race restored their rule, Kyushu was a harmonious place, but for her, it had lost much of its joy.

She longed to go to a more novel world.

Although Heya didn't say it, she was also more inclined to follow Song Changming.

After all, she still had Song Changming's Binding God Seal on her body, making the master-servant relationship between the two even more complete.

"I wondered what it was about. It's too early to tell, and the place I'm going to is probably far more dangerous than Kyushu. If I take you with me, I might not be able to protect you all," Song Changming explained.

His three attendants were like three little wild animals, fearing that he would abandon them.

"Don't worry, young master, I'm not afraid of danger," Su Qingqing said earnestly.

"I'm not afraid!" The young phoenix widened her eyes, raised her head and puffed out her chest.

"Alright, we'll discuss this matter later. If you're going to travel together, you'd better intensify your cultivation during this time," Song Changming waved his hand and said with a faint smile.

A simple sentence ignited the fighting spirit of the two women, while Heya, the one with the highest cultivation among the three accompanying them, remained much calmer.

After dismissing the three women, Song Changming returned to his palace alone and sat cross-legged, holding the magic mirror that could travel between the two places.

The precious mirror was bright and intact.

Since this precious mirror came into his possession, it has been several decades, even hundreds of years, from being pieced together from fragments to being fully restored.

The origin of the precious mirror is unknown, and even after Song Changming searched through ancient books, he found nothing.

However, the magic mirror has an incredibly powerful function: it can enable spatial jumps and travel between two places.

Especially after the mirror was restored, it helped him physically enter the abyss seal.

Treasures related to space are already extremely rare in the world.

And like this precious mirror, it can freely travel between the two places. Song Changming searched high and low, but he could only find this one.

The fact that one could enter the sealed space without breaking the seal itself was the most amazing thing in Song Changming's eyes.

This is as if they don't even exist in the tenth-order sealing formation.

It could even be said that with the magic mirror in hand, there is nothing in the world that can trap him.

This led Song Changming to have even more imagination about this perfectly preserved mirror.

For example, could he use this precious mirror to directly break through the world barrier and go to that primordial world?

If that were possible, everything would become incredibly simple.

Even more importantly, he can use this precious mirror to travel back after going there, something that even the already immortal Yuan Di could not do.

However, to travel between the two worlds using the magic mirror, there is a necessary prerequisite: obtaining the spatial coordinates of the original world.

This is not a difficult task for Song Changming now.

The remnant soul left behind by Emperor Yuan gave him a glimmer of light, saying that once he arrived in the Primordial Land, he could use it to contact Emperor Yuan's true form.

This faint light cannot be seen with the naked eye, but as long as one's spiritual power is strong enough, one can sense the existence of this faint light that wanders between his body.

Even after Song Changming's Witch God Soul stepped into the fourth divine rank, he could still faintly sense that this faint light had a subtle connection with a certain location on the distant horizon.

Of course, the ability to perceive this distant connection was not solely due to the Witch God's Soul.

Furthermore, due to his own spatial eye, this orange spatial-type physical characteristic grants him the ability to sense spatial orientation.

His extremely powerful spiritual energy, coupled with his exceptional spatial talent, enabled him to achieve this. Song Changming, who frequently used the magic mirror, knew that the location he sensed was a general spatial coordinate.

It is highly likely that that place is the primordial world where Emperor Yuan resides!

He was waiting there for Song Changming to arrive!

Thus, he now has the spatial coordinates for traveling. If he wants to take an adventure, he can use the magic mirror right now to try to go to that new world!
Even if he fails, or even if he is caught in the chaotic space and dies, he can start over again with the 'rebirth' power granted by the panel.

He has room for trial and error; he dares to try things that others wouldn't dare to do, things that involve risking one's life.

However, he is not in a hurry at the moment.

On the one hand, he could continue to stay in Kyushu to further accumulate strength; on the other hand, the spatial coordinates were not very accurate, and the probability of failure was quite high if he rashly traveled through them.

He wanted to research and explore a more accurate and reliable spatial coordinate system before making any attempts.

Anyway, the one thing he has no shortage of is time.

After putting away the precious mirror, Song Changming, as usual, practiced the Heavenly Divine Technique under the moon, condensing his own divine soul miniature.

There are no shortcuts to strengthening the Witch God's Soul; it can only be achieved through time and gradual accumulation.

He had a premonition that if he refined the Witch God Soul to be powerful enough, then even without this treasure mirror, he might be able to comprehend the method of space travel and be able to travel between the two worlds and reach that primordial world by his own ability!
At that time, nothing will be able to hold him back, not even this world!
June.

Yuanzhou, formerly known as the White-Topped Realm, is now renamed the Fox Realm.

In a picturesque mountain valley, Song Changming felt the gentle mountain breeze and the bright moon overhead.

Cicadas chirped incessantly everywhere, and the nearby ponds echoed with the chorus of frogs, creating a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.

Song Changming leisurely stayed there alone until after midnight, when he opened the panel that refreshed as usual.

Song Changming glanced at this year's annual evaluation.

It must be said that this year's evaluation is very apt.

Invincible!

After slaying the Star-Devouring Dragon, Song Changming was indeed invincible across the entire land of Kyushu.

He is already recognized as the strongest person in the world!
However, today, the panel has proven this point to him once again.

Skipping over a series of evaluations and descriptions, Song Changming looked directly at the annual awards section.

You can still choose four out of the six rewards.

"Um?!"

Song Changming immediately noticed the large, gold characters that flashed by and stared at them intently.

"A golden-quality physical trait!" Song Changming exclaimed in surprise, as he had never encountered such a pure golden physical trait before.

Prior to this, he received the highest-grade physical attribute reward, which is orange level.

He has already obtained a bunch of orange-level physique attribute rewards.

He originally thought that the orange-level reward was the highest quality reward that the panel could provide.

It wasn't until he obtained this gold-quality item today that he realized there were gold-quality rewards above orange-level.

"A born swordsman?" Song Changming mused.

The triggering method for this golden physique trait is the same; previously, it was triggered by a blue physique, resulting in an advanced orange-related physique.

This time, it was triggered by an orange-tier constitution that granted a stronger version of a gold-tier related constitution.

There was no need for him to think about it further; he was definitely choosing the first gold-quality reward this time.

Even though it required an exaggerated 36,000 lifespans, he still paid for it.

Soon, Song Changming finalized the four reward options he wanted to choose.

"This time I'm destined to lose a lot of lifespan," Song Changming muttered to himself, and took the golden physique first.

His lifespan was reduced by nearly a hundred years!
His nearly 100-year lifespan was solely for the purpose of adding a line of gold text to the section on his physical characteristics.

Born Sword Saint (Gold): A born saint who can reach the supreme holy realm with the way of the sword. The ultimate physique for swordsmanship!
The description is concise, yet quite straightforward.

This is the strongest physical talent in the way of the sword!
Song Changming, who had attained sainthood through the sword, received this golden physique, but there was no dramatic change in his body, which manifested as a dazzling golden light.

Although he didn't understand what the concept of "achieving sainthood through the sword" meant, he couldn't see any power in this golden characteristic at all.

He figured the rewards on the panel wouldn't lie to him, so he swiped his hand across the Qiankun Ring, and a long sword appeared in his palm.

The moment the long sword was in his hand, Song Changming observed with keen insight and his senses were extremely detailed, and he immediately felt the difference.

The knife in his hand and he felt an inexplicable, blood-related connection.
The knife was his destined weapon, ingrained in his bones and engraved in his blood!

This connection surpasses everything in the world!
Suppressing the tremor in his heart, he raised his hand and slashed at the sky with his sword. Instantly, a narrow sword aura nearly a hundred meters long, radiating extraordinary golden light, pierced the sky diagonally.

Song Changming stared in astonishment at the pure golden sword energy burning like a raging fire on the blade in his hand.

This pure golden sword energy was something he didn't have before; it was undoubtedly a newly bestowed feature of the golden color.

Under the golden blade energy, the power of this strike was more than twice as strong as Song Changming had anticipated!

Thus, he finally gained some understanding of this golden characteristic.

Born a swordsman, possessing the ultimate physical talent for wielding a sword!
With it, Song Changming no longer needs to worry about any bottlenecks he might encounter in his future swordsmanship.

In the realm of knife fighting, he essentially possesses the ultimate cheat code.

However, he will probably only be able to truly experience the true power of this golden characteristic in the future. Since it has not yet been developed, he can only know a fraction of its effects.
